Speaker 2 (00:20):
That team our flash the DTV Show. Welcome ladies, gentlemen,
and gender non conforming individuals to another episode of The
Benjamin Dixon Show. Today is Friday, September twenty twentieth, twenty
twenty four. Thank you so much for joining me. Yeah,
yesterday was was a mess. I don't know if you

(00:41):
caught the news cycle yesterday, but it was out of control.
Hour after hour after hour. There were breaking news stories,
excl exclusives, expose as people being exposed based on overwhelmingly,
like almost every story yesterday was on the sexual proclivities

(01:01):
of politicians, of preachers, of professors. I mean, it was.
It was messy, and I'm not going to spend a
lot of time on that. Matter of fact, I'm not
even going to start there. I have some serious news
that we have to talk about, but there are lessons

(01:24):
to be learned from yesterday, and particularly if I could
just say this at the beginning of the show. You know,
I know all of us have issues in our life.
I know all of us, you know, from time to
time may do things that we're not necessarily proud of.
Everybody has their own sexual choices and what I call

(01:48):
proclivities and habits, and the biblically we say all have
sin and fall falling short of the glory of God.
But when you make a professional career out of attacking
other people based on some sense of sexual morality that
you preach fire and brimstone, and you condemn people based

(02:09):
on what you think they should not be doing. When
you sit in the seat of the scornful, the Book
of Psalms says, you look down and you condemn other people.
And you don't just condemn them. You try to make
policies to say what they can and cannot do sexually,
and then you condemn certain lifestyles, or you condemn some

(02:32):
people's gender choices, you know, and then it turns out
that you are exactly what you've been preaching against. Mark Robinson,
just for an example, he's just one of the MANI
there's like at least eight that I have to go over.
Mark Robinson, the Lieutenant governor of North Carolina who is
running for governor, has gotten exposed for his sexual proclivities,

(02:57):
but he's built a platform attacking the very group that
he consumes pornography. Of we'll talk about that, we'll get
to the details. And then there's pastor Steve Lawson, who
was a pastor at Trinity Bible Church in Dallas, Texas.

(03:17):
You know, spent years condemning the sexual lifestyle of any
number of groups. Turns out he had a mistress. He
had a step down yesterday. Go figure right, and then
and then I could if I can just dovetail this
one in here, or shoehorn this one in here. Christopher Ruffo,
who has built an entire career off of attacking quote

(03:38):
unquote illegal immigrants, only to come to find that his
wife was illegal. Well, let me not use their language,
but that is their language, so I guess I should
use it. His wife was in the United States illegally
and to boot. Christopher Ruffo has an Ashley Madison account

(03:59):
and was exposed cheating yesterday. And it's not just them,
of course, you know, there's there's my good friend Michael
Eric Dyson. I call them my good friend. I mean,
we met just a few times, so I can't really
say he's a friend of mine, but I really always
admired that brother's work. He didn't get exposed for you know, cheating,

(04:20):
but he definitely got exposed for flirting with someone you
had no business flirting with, my brother. So it's not
just a Republican Democrat thing. I think it's a human thing,
which is why we should pause when we try to
attack other people for what they do, because all, I
mean goodness, when when we all have the potential of

(04:41):
falling and doing some things that we ain't got no
business doing. That's just one way of looking at it.
The other way of looking at it is you should
have known better, Michael Eric Dyson, come on, my brother.
H So there's then there's Robert Kennedy Junior, who got
exposed yesterday for sleeping with the journalist Olivia Nuzzy of

(05:04):
the New Yorker magazine, who I mean goodness, her whole
career has been just devastated because of that decision of hers.
And I'm no fan of hers. You know, I was
looking on Twitter for we got into some spats way
back in the day twenty sixteen around the Burning bro days.
But still it's just you know, she was giving reporting

(05:28):
pro and favorable Robert Kennedy Junior reporting attacking Joe Biden. Meanwhile,
turns out they had a romantic relationship. Matt Gates. I mean,
the list goes on and on, and I don't want
to spend too much time here because I have some
serious news that I need to bring to your attention.
But it's the hypocrisy of it all. It is the

(05:49):
hypocrisy of it all. When you build your career and
your position and your politics and your platform around family
values quote unquote family values, and you demean and deride
and you and you make policies that hurt communities that

(06:11):
you are condemning, and then turns out that you you
you love that community, you just won't say it publicly.
Mark Robinson, you love consuming their porn, but you want
to condemn them. And not only condemn them, but you
create an environment where it's it's dangerous to be a
trans person in the United States of America. You contributed

(06:34):
to that, and then turn around, you're consuming their porn
on everyday basis, five days a week at the porn shop. Now,
I'm not going to kink shame, but I will hypocrisy shame.
I will shame hypocrisy because it's not as though we
don't all have our thing. You know, to be human

(06:54):
is to be a sexual creature and to have desires
and to do things. So it's not it's not that
we're all perfect. But when you make a career out
of attacking people based on their choices, their lifestyle, whatever,
however you want to name it, call it, categorize it.
What you attack people for what they do, and you're

(07:16):
out there doing the same thing, if not worse, immeasurably worse.
If you read some of the comments that Mark Robinson
was leaving on these porn sites. Okay, I've spent too
much time on that already. I've got to get to
something that actually matters. Well. Side note that North Carolina
race really matters, and that the fact that Mark Robinson

(07:37):
has not dropped out really matters because of the next
story I'm going to give you the Republicans in the
state of Nebraska. They are making a push with the
help and the assistance of South Carolina Republican Senators Lindsey Graham,
who flew he missed the vote yesterday, and he flew
to Nebraska to try to convince the governor to of

(08:01):
Nebraska to call a special session so that they can
change the way they allot their electoral votes and instead
of making it proportional, they want to make it a
winner take all, which will inevitably give Donald Trump all
of the electoral votes from that state. Because of the
polling there, doesn't look like Kamala Harris is going to

(08:21):
pick up Nebraska anytime soon, and they know that, and
they know it's going to be a tight race, and
so what they've done instead of what Nebraska has been
in the past, which was to allocate proportionally based on
the proportion of the victory there, they have decided at
the last second, or they are in the process of
deciding to change that to winter take all. And unless

(08:43):
Kamala Harris picks up a state like North Carolina, where
Mark Robinson is kind of making that possible. Now there's
a good possibility, but without picking up one of those
swing states that will essentially bring the electoral vote count
to a to still make two sixty nine to two
sixty nine. Now they're doing this at the last second

(09:05):
because it does not give the other state. The only
other state in the Union that allocates votes electoral College
votes proportionally is the state of Maine, and without Maine
having enough lead time to make the same decision, because
there's a district there. There's particular districts in Maine that
are overwhelmingly Republican, and because of that, the electoral votes

(09:30):
from Maine have been split and allocated, just like Nebraska.
But now Nebraska is pushing to change their electoral allotment
schema to a winner take all. That is election interference
if I've ever seen it, and they're doing it right
in front of our eyes. And they don't care about

(09:54):
the they don't care about the appearance of it. They
only care about power. They don't care. That is, it
is fundamentally rigging the game to help Donald Trump win
when in any other scenario he would not. But because
they know how tight this race is going to be
the Republican governor, along with Republican leadership in the state

(10:17):
of Nebraska again with the assistance of Lindsey Graham flying
to the state and spending his all day yesterday there
trying to encourage him to call this special session of
the state legislature so that they can change this. But
they're doing it so close to the election that now
the state of Maine does not get an opportunity to
respond in kind, and that is pushing us closer to

(10:38):
a two sixty nine to two sixty nine electoral college stalemate,
which would drop it back down to nowhere else but
the House of Representatives, in which they can go ahead
and execute the plan that they wanted to execute last time. Well,
a little differently, they wanted the House of Representatives to
make the decision in twenty twenty based on certification. Now

(11:02):
they want the House of Representatives to make the decision
who will be president in twenty twenty four based on
a stalemate in the electoral college. That's what we're dealing with.
That's the extent to which they don't care about democracy.
And to be fair, if anything, this not to be fair.
What am I saying? Don't be fair to these clowns.

(11:22):
To be clear, If anything, this is a clear indication
that we must do away with the electoral college. We must.
I mean, it is a system that harkens back to
slavery in the first place. It is a system is
that gives an unfair advantage to states that don't have

(11:43):
the population. Because they understood the more populous states tend
to be the urban states, the metropolitan areas, where those
areas overwhelmingly go towards Democrats and depending on the epoch
we're talking about right back in the day Democrats where
the party of the Confederate South. Right now, the Democrats

(12:05):
are the party of the coastal elites, quote unquote. But
they know that the more urban centers you have, the
more liberal and more progressive those centers are. Is just
it throughout history. That is a fact. The more populous
an area is, the more progressive that area has to

(12:25):
be because of the diversity that is in that city
and that region, in that metropolitan area. And Republicans knew that,
and they stand by it up until now. They stood
by the electoral college because they were able to win
that victory in twenty sixteen where Hillary Clinton got the
popular vote but Donald Trump got the electoral college. And

(12:46):
now that's insufficient for them. So what do they do.
They change the rules, and they do it right in
front of our faces. They don't care if it's smells
of hypocrisy, they don't care if it's anti Democrats, they
don't care about any of those things. A matter of fact,
they thrive on the hypocrisy. The hypocrisy is the point,

(13:07):
and you'll see that in every story that we cover.
In the next segment, where we're going through all of
these uh, these sexual scandals that they're going through. They
don't care if they are hypocrites. That is a part
of their strategy. So what do we do. We've got
to turn out and blow this thing out of the water.

(13:29):
The only way democracy survives is if we absolutely blow
this thing out of the water. It must be a
landslide victory. You need to call every single person, you know,
you need to text message every person. Maybe you won't
call them because getting on the phone with people is
a little scary these days. Folks don't like to talk
to people on the phone. I get it. Send a

(13:50):
text message. I know you're I know you're posting on
social media, but you need to send text messages. You
need to make sure that everyone understands that you are
in a fight for democracy itself. And I'm not just
talking about a Kumbai Ya democracy, folks. I'm talking about
the difference between democracy and autocracy, democracy and dictatorship. We're

(14:12):
on the brink and they're playing for keeps. Republicans do
not care what rules they have to break. They will
break this entire thing just so that they can have power.
All right, when we come back we'll get into the
messinists that came out yesterday. We'll be back with more
of the Benjamin Dixon Show right after this. Yeah, yeah, look,

(14:43):
I'm in nine with the Stars.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
I'm gonna sink with the Earth ten toes deep, flower
Child from the turf. I never switch sides, like even
when I die. I'm a ride for the squad let
of ties. In the hearst, I've been on the five
kind of hard to describe. I remember between them good
and it's fine, but I'm tired of the grind. Then
I come alive in the night to relive him in
the middlewooded time of my life. I'm never so packed
staid a.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Night on the.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Welcome back to the Benjamin Dixon Show. Visit us online
at the Benjamin Dixonshow dot com.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
And we just found out an hour ago that the
Lieutenant governor there Mark Robinson, who's running for governor Donald
Trump called Martin Luther King on steroids, posted on a
porn forum called Nude Africa that he's a black Nazi,
express support for reinstating slavery, and detailed his sexual arousal
from memories of peeping on women in public gyms and

(15:53):
he still fantasizes about it. He also has an Ashley
Madison account.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
How dare you kink shame?

Speaker 5 (15:59):
Sure, that's a great reaction. So Josh Stein was likely
to win that race anyway. If they get Mark Robinson
to drop out, his name is still on the ballot.
But this makes North Carolina even more in play for Democrats.
And this again is evidence of the type of candidates
that Donald Trump thinks are good for the country.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
That was Jessic Cautar, Love of the Five on Fox News.
I think she gave a decent summary of the messiness
that Mark Robinson is involved in. I mean, and actually
it's really not even a You have to read some
of this stuff. There was a lot that CNN just
was not going to publish, and at first I was like,
come on, CNN, it's twenty twenty four. Published this. But

(16:41):
then another account on Twitter started publishing it and I
started reading it and I was like, oh my god,
I can't even repeat this on my podcast. I mean,
the man is nasty, just down right nasty. He calls
himself a pervert. Okay, yeah, yes you are, Mark Robinson are.
He calls himself a black Nazi. Absolutely, I could have

(17:03):
told you that without you ever confessing it. But what's
funny about this and I want to make up I
want to parse something here. It's it's he he has
a thing for transporn. And the thing about it is
is that he's made a career off of attacking trans people. Okay,
that that the hypocrisy, right, And it's not just hypocrisy,

(17:25):
it's a violent, a violent hypocrisy that puts the lives
of the entire lgbt q I community, but specifically the
trans community, which is overwhelmingly targeted for violence above and beyond,
above and beyond right. And he the fact that he
not only engages in creating that violent environment, but then

(17:50):
turns around and goes and consumes the pornography. It just
shows you a level of I mean, I don't even
think hypocrisy captures the word it captures the essence of it.
It really doesn't. But here, here, here's just a reminder
of who Mark Robinson is.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Eight But two genders ain't nothing but men and women, he.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Says, God calls on mentally, not women, called to be
led by men.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
When it was time to face down the life.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Shit.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
David, not de Vita, David there's no reason anybody anywhere
in America should be telling it in top about ten, genderism, homosexuality,
any of that, Phil And yes I called it Phil.
We could pass the mills say you can't have an
emotion in North Carolina for any reason.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
He says the civil rights movement in the nineteen sixties
was quote crap, and that Martin Luther King was a communist.

Speaker 7 (18:46):
Robinson posted the movie Black Panther was quote created by
an agnostic Jew to pull the shekels out of your
schwartz to pockets, using the Yiddish words for money and black.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
He referred to the victims of the Parkland school shooting
as spoiled little bastards.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
He says the moon landing in nineteen sixty nine may
have been fake. He also says there is a secret
ruling Camal that is part reptile.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
And said that Beyonce is Satanic. No, I don't know
who put that mash up together, but it is an
absolute wonderful mashup of the details of who Mark Robinson
really is the most dangerous aspects of it. You heard
for yourself. He is a part and absolutely I got
I have one more clip. I have to play for you.
This is the same guy talking about creating dangerous environments.

(19:32):
This is the same guy that went to I believe
it was the Lake Church in North Carolina and preached
from the pool pit that we should be willing to
kill people.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Let did his start this fight?

Speaker 1 (19:44):
You did?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
You wanted to be left alone? You should left me alone.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
We didn't argue and capitulate and talk about, well, maybe
we shouldn't fight. The Nazis that hard, No, they're bad.
Killed him. Some liberal somewhere is gonna say that sound awful,
too bad. Get mad at me if you want to.
Some folks need killing. It's time for somebody to say

(20:10):
it now.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Of course, the hypocrisy is the point, because on the
porn sites that he visited and regularly commented on, using
the same email address, sometimes using his full name, using
the same user user name that he's used everywhere across
the internet. That's how it was so easy to find him.
While using his true identity, he identified himself as a

(20:34):
black Nazi. But here he is using Nazis as the
justification for why some people need to be killed. He's
not going to point to himself and say, oh, you
should come kill me no, he's going to point to
every group that is popular to hate right now, that's
who he wants to kill. Some people just need to
be killed. That's who got exposed yesterday. And he refused

(20:57):
to drop out of the North Carolina race, which is
you know what, Thank you, Mark Robinson. I really appreciate
that because when you consider what Nebraska is doing, it
was going to be even harder for Kamala Harris to
win without the state of without the state of North Carolina.
And so now there is a strong possibility that because
because Mark Robinson is on the ballot, that he's going

(21:21):
to get washed so badly that Donald Trump is going
to lose the state of North Carolina. It's so bad
that the Trump administration, the Trump campaign rather has banned
him from appearing at any of their rallies anymore. They
wanted him to drop out, but of course he isn't
going to drop out, and even if he did drop out,
it was too late for them to change the ballots

(21:42):
because the ballots have been printed. And that's just one
one of the stories of hypocrisy that came out yesterday.
When we come back, I'll discuss a few more and
we want to take a look at what's happening in Ukraine,
or rather this time, what's happening on the other side
of the border in Russia, where and Ammunition's depot with
thirty thousand tons of Russian ammunition, Russian and North Korean

(22:07):
ammunition was detonated in a spectacular explosion triggered by the
drone operators. This has become a full out drone war
between Russia and Ukraine. We'll discuss it more when we
come back with more of the Benjamin Dixon Show. Right
after this.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Saudi's going in my presses and were going through it
outside of your really, but I keep it good that
game press me, I keep it if you're with intense
and see.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
What I'm on in O vix, i'mms like to wear
that time down. I keep it doing on me. I'm bless,
bless big bagman stress you Ray.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
I've noticed is when I have this no he so
God can press whatever.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Welcome back to The Benjamin Dixon Show. Visit us online,
ed the Benjamin Dixon Show dot com.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yep, welcome back, Welcome back. So yesterday was a complete mess,
a day of messiness. And I don't mean because things

(23:25):
were being reported on. I mean, because people's messy lives
were exposed yesterday from Pastor Stephen J. Lawson of Trinity
Bible Church in Dallas, who, at the age of seventy three,
has been forced to resign from the pastor it because
he had a mistress. Now, Lawson is one of the

(23:46):
theological bros, the theo Bros, who is a part of
this this this real push towards absolutism, Christian nationalism, a theocracy,
this condemnation and of everyone's lifestyle that is not perfectly
aligned with the Bible. And here he is out here

(24:07):
with a mistress. Now, I do want to comment on, like, bro,
you're seventy three years old, Like you know, you would
think that the older you get, the easier it would
get because you just can't do I mean, it doesn't
mean you don't have the desire, but you just can't
do what you used to do. I'd say that all
the time in church. You know, you get a little
bit older, some of us stop sitting because we just

(24:28):
get older, not because we get any more saved. But
then I'm reminded that seventy year old Robert Kennedy Junior,
who was a prolific adulterer just got caught up with
thirty one year old Olivia Nuzzy of the New Yorker magazine.
So I guess, so long as viagra is on the market,

(24:49):
I guess people are going to pursue their desires. That
was just two of the many stories that came out yesterday.
Of course, Matt Gates, the congressional the representative from the
first Congressional district in Florida, more information coming out about
his sex trafficking party that he attended with a seventeen

(25:10):
year old. We knew about this. The interesting thing about
this is that the ethics investigation in the House of
Representatives just kind of disappeared on it. And I think
I don't know if you would have recalled back when
Matt Gates was ensuring he kept calling a vote, he

(25:31):
made sure that they won, got rid of Speaker McCarthy,
but then he continuously sabotaged the vote. And that was
until somebody pulled him to the side. And there's a
video of it. It's a great video. In like fifteen votes.
At the beginning of the last term was twenty twenty
two of the House of Representatives, they had to take
fifteen votes in order to get a Speaker of the House.

(25:53):
And it wasn't until one of the Republicans pulled him
to the side and whispered in his ear, and Matt
Gate's eyes looked so seriously, deadly serious. I mean, he
looked concerned, he looked angry, and I think that was
the point. I'm just speculating here, but that was the
point where one, he no longer challenged the vote and
they were able to get in Speaker Johnson. And then two,

(26:15):
I actually know it wasn't Speaker Johnson. Who was it. Yeah,
it was Speaker Johnson. It was such a mess.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Then two, that's when his ethics violation investigation disappeared. So
we've known about the Matt Gates thing for some time,
but now more information is coming out. And that was
just that was in That was just story number three.
So you had Mark Robinson who was exposed with all
of his filthy comments. I mean, you got to go
to Twitter. I can't even say some of the stuff
on this podcast. I just I just couldn't even read

(26:42):
it without one laughing through it because of how you know,
just nasty this man is. But then two is just
so vulgar. So there's Mark Robinson, RFK Junior and Olivia Nuzzy,
Matt Gates. I already mentioned Michael Eric Dyson. I want
to go over Michael Eric Dyson's thing a little bit here,
and I want to play the clip of a representative
Nancy Mace And this is this is a little different, right.

(27:04):
It's only different because he was flirting through text messages
and that flirting is enough to honestly brow like, what
are you doing, especially when you consider the times that
we are in, how crucial this election is where we
don't need any We don't need that on our side
of the aisle. Plus you're married, right, And this is

(27:28):
not to say people are Look, people mess up all
the time. I get it, But bro, with the white
with someone that you know is clearly a white supremacist,
Come on, bro, like seriously, Like, that's comp that's three
layers of compounded ignorance, my friend. One to do it
in the first place, Two to do it at a

(27:51):
time where you can guarantee any ammunition you give them
will be used against you. And number three, you're doing
it with the lady you are know is so just
so repugnant in her racism that she intentionally and gets
joy out of using the wrong name for Kamala Harris.

(28:11):
They want to call her Kamala because they know it's
an insult to use someone's name improperly. What are we doing? Actually,
I'm not going to play those clips because it's really
not worth the time. Then there's the New York City
COVID czar Jay Varma, who was caught by Stephen Crowder,
who is a buffoon himself, louder a Crowder, a complete buffoon.

(28:33):
He Crowder. And this is not to attack the reporting,
but it is to just consistently attack him because he's
really not a good person. He's the guy who had
the video out of him not just harassing but just
abusing verbally abusing his pregnant wife, blowing cigar smoke in

(28:54):
her face. She wanted to go to the grocery store.
She's one of the cars to go to the grocery store.
And he was like, no, not until you do some housework.
Something ridiculous. Just I have to contextualize it because I
will acknowledge the work that he did on this clip,
on this story. But yeah, he's still the scum of
the earth. And I guess every now and then scum

(29:16):
can do a good job. He exposed Jay Varma having
sex parties at the height of the pandemic. Now what
does that matter? That particular story doesn't matter so much
except for the fact that when you give people ammunition
to attack a critical issue such as COVID nineteen, which
was still living in it continues to give them ammunition

(29:40):
to undermine all of public health. Here is a public
health official at the height of the pandemic having sex
parties and orgies. And then Christopher Ruffo, who I went
back to his timeline to get more information and I
forgot he had blocked me. I don't even remember what
he blocked me over. Probably was calling him out long
before everyone else. But Christopher Ruffo, who not only married

(30:04):
a quote unquote illegal immigrant, and I only use that
language because he is on the forefront of attacking the
immigrants that he calls illegal and there he is, he's
married one. But then also he cheated on her. His
email address was found in the Ashley Madison files. So
was Mark Robinson's email address found in the Ashley Madison files.

(30:27):
So there you go. I mean, this is all just
in the last twenty four hours, and I feel like
I may have missed some. I mean, who was such
a long day of exposure that I feel like, even
though I've gone over but seven of them, I feel
like there's something that I'm missing. But I digress. Listen,
this is the only real point again, and I know

(30:47):
I've made this point clear, but I just have to
make a clear err. Right of us, all of us
have our thing, all of us do our thing in
our own way. We are who we are, we like
what we like, we enjoy what we enjoy. But when
you prop yourself up to be a moral figure. Right.

(31:10):
For instance, prior to becoming a pastor, all I was
doing for about ten years was political commentary. Right, I
have a different burden now that I am a pastor
than I did when I was just a political commentator. Now,
I had a burden when I was a political commentator
because I was married am married. Right. But when you
put yourself in a position to publicly look at people

(31:32):
and tell them how they should live their life, or
what they should improve on or what they shouldn't do.
And then even more so, when you become a politician,
and you're the politician who is trying to create policy
to dictate how people can live their lives. You better
sure as hell be living the life you're talking about,
because when you get exposed. And see, here's the thing,

(31:54):
it really doesn't damage Republicans because hypocrisy is the point.
They will forgive all of their sinners, and they will
look at a person, they would look at a same
sex couple that is in a happy, monogamous marriage, and
they would condemn them to hell. Meanwhile their pastor is
sleeping with the women in the church, and then they
forgive them and just want to keep on going. I mean,

(32:18):
there is a sister on Twitter called Beck's b e
Ks and her handle is Antifa operative love the name,
and every single day she gives us examples I mean
a lot. I mean ten to fifteen examples of moral
leaders who commit the most heinous of immoral crimes crimes

(32:41):
against children, pedophilia. And these are pastors, youth ministers, deacons,
trustees of their churches, including politicians and police officers. She
covers the whole gambit we live in a society. I
don't even want to get on what I believe we
as a society really need to talk about and really

(33:03):
need a dig into, because I don't want to get
on a high horse myself lest I fall and become
a castaway. But when you see the lack of sexual
discipline across the board, but especially amongst the people who
are trying to create a theocracy, who want to legislate

(33:23):
religious morality, and they are incapable of living it themselves.
And not only do they not live the basic morality,
they engage in the most atrocious activities. I mean the church.
I haven't said this one in a while, maybe you
haven't heard me say it, so this might come as

(33:44):
a shock to you. But did you know that churches
are now required, but not required, that's the wrong word,
but they offer child molestation insurance for churches. Do you
understand the amount of depravity that goes into an occurrence,

(34:10):
a regular occurrence of child molestation such that an industry
has risen. There is a new industry in the insurance industry.
There's a new subcategory in the insurance industry for church
child molestation protection insurance. I don't want to hear about

(34:32):
morality from any any any of them. I know, I'm
a pastor. I don't want to hear about morality from
any of these fools, not when they are the biggest culprits. No, no, no, no,
you just you just get your life together, because y'all
are out here doing some of the most sick and
depraved things. Mark Mark Robinson, you all are out here,

(34:57):
Matt Gates, trafficking children, trafficking anybody. It was not just children,
but sex trafficking. This whole country is depraved. I mean,
come on, I m help me, Lord, because when I
really think about what's being done to our children, it

(35:19):
ain't being done by drag queens. It's being done by
the very people who say protect our children. And I'm
really into protecting children, not just mine, but all children.
And that strikes a chord in me that really does
take me into a different place in my mind. I
thought politics was really the thing that triggered a dark

(35:42):
side of me. But when I consider what these churches
and these pastors and these priests and these deacons and
trustees are doing to children, I'm like, it's hunting season.
But I digress vengeance's mind, said the Lord. And they're
all getting exposed. They are all getting exposed for who

(36:03):
and what they really are. Wolves in sheep's clothing.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Change.

Speaker 8 (36:26):
We all want this war to end. The quickest way
to end the war is to lose it, but that
will not bring peace, It will bring Russian occupation. Today,
President Turtin believes he can achieve his goals on the battlefield,

(36:49):
and he believes that he can wait us out. That
is why he continues to wage his brutal war. I
do not believe that we can change Putin's mind, but
I do believe that we can change his calculus. By

(37:12):
giving Ukraine more weapons, we can make Putin realize he
cannot get what he wants by force and make it
so costly that he will have to accept Ukraine as
a sovereign democratic right to persist as a sovereign democratic nation.

(37:34):
The paradox is that the more weapons for Ukraine we
are able to deliver, the more likely it is that
you can reach a piece.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
The more weapons we deliver to Ukraine a paradox. Right.
That's Jens Stottenberg, the Secretary General of NATO, speaking very
directly on the knee to arm Ukraine even more. And
one of the more disgusting, outright deplorable talking points that
I've seen foment to the top of this particular season

(38:10):
is the idea that true peace comes through surrender, that
Ukraine should lay down and allow Vladimir Putin to get
away with whatever he wants to with his imperialist ambitions.
That isn't peace, as Stoltenburg just outlined, that comes with occupation, subjugation.

(38:34):
That's cowardice. And it's not just cowardice, you know, it's
calculated cowardice. It is calculated because and it's promoted by
people who want Vladimir Putin to be successful in his
expansion of Russia. They want the resurgence of not the
See here's another place where people mix up their thinking,

(38:57):
and sometimes it's intentionally and sometimes is not. Vladimir Putin
is not bringing back the USSR. Vladimir Putin is not
a communist. He's not an egalitarian who's fighting against capitalism.
Vladimir Putin is a capitalist. He's an oligarch. He's a
billionaire who is expanding his imperial desires based on the

(39:20):
illusion of the former USSR, as if the former USSR
was something to be loved. That's the truth about what
Vladimir Putin is doing. And you have people who claim
to be anti war, who use the label and the
mantle of anti war, the label of peace, to say

(39:43):
Ukraine needs to surrender so that we can have peace,
and then they justify it and saying that, oh, Vladimir
Putin is fighting the imperialist, capitalist West. Vladimir Putin in
that way is just the opposite side of the same coin, then,
because he is also a capitalist and also an imperialist.

(40:03):
And why would we change one devil for another. Why.
Here's another clip I want you to listen to, as
Professor Timothy Snyder outlines the it's not just propaganda. It

(40:23):
is a propagandistic talking point, but it's also an imperialistic
strategy that has deceived many Americans from Vladimir Putin. This
fear of Russia suffering the same fate on their soil
as they are imposing on Ukraine, as if we should

(40:48):
become accustomed to And this is why it's so terrifying
become accustomed to aggressor nations not facing any ramifications on
their own soil. It's like Nazi Germany executing the Blitzkrieg
and no one expecting the bombing of Dresden. War just

(41:08):
doesn't work like that.

Speaker 9 (41:09):
Part of being an empire is controlling the discourse, and
to a large degree, the Russians have been able to
control the strategic discourse, setting up for US new rules
in war which have never existed before, like, for example,
that when you invade another country, the entire war should
take place on the territory the country eve invaded. No
one has ever said that before, because it's completely absurd,

(41:30):
and yet somehow it has been accepted in the United
States as normal that this war should be fought on
Ukrainian territory. There is no precedence for that kind of idea.
Another idea that the Russians have that we've accepted is
that it's normal, for example, when you and I were
in Kiev for ballistic missiles to rain down on the
city where we were trying to do normal business. But
it's somehow not normal for ballistic missiles from Ukraine to

(41:51):
go into Russia. Why is that? Why is it normal
for one country and not for another. It has a
great deal to do with imperial thinking, which we have accepted.
There's some thing Prussia special, et cetera about Russia, and
somehow it's okay for Ukrainians to be victims because they
always have been victims. We need to investigate. I think
that understructure of thinking, which I believe has guided our

(42:11):
policy in the wrong way. So as far as empires
are concerned, I'll return to to what I said at
the end, trying to respond now to your question about
a victory plan. I believe the Ukrainians are right about
something that they've been that they are hard pressed to
convince us of. And I think what I'm saying now
is consistent with the history of empire. The Russians are
going to negotiate peace when they believe they are losing.

(42:35):
And so if anyone is serious about negotiation, that that
person should be trying to get the Russians into a
position where they think they might be losing. The Ukrainians
get that, but they're having a really hard time making
us understand that pairing. So when they talk about a
victory plan or a peace plan, what they mean is
together the West and Ukraine do enough to get Russia

(42:58):
to a point where it might be negotiates. Sincerely, they're
not there now.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
That was again Professor Timothy Snyder making it very very
clear that what has to happen is that we must
shift our thinking. Shift our thinking here in the United
States those of us. And one thing he didn't say
is I think we must fundamentally admit that this thinking

(43:24):
that Russia is not supposed to be attacked while they're
doing the attacking, is itself a byproduct of the propaganda
machine that Vladimir Putin put in place. Say that seven
times quickly, Vladimir Putin has successfully infiltrated the West through
propaganda by paying people like Tim Poole, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin,

(43:48):
and so many others that I'm still waiting on the
report some six hundred American influencers who are directly tied
to the to Vladimir Putin. They have successfully infiltrated the
West with the propaganda of Vladimir Putin to suggest that
we can't strike Russia back, that Ukraine can't strike Russia back.

(44:11):
And why am I covering this one? I've covered it
since before the invasion of Ukraine, and because it is
a just war. What Ukraine is fighting is the clearest
example of a just war. If there is ever a
time where you are called to take up arms and
go to war, it is when your home is being invaded.

(44:36):
There's no clear example of a just war. And the
fact that here in the United States of America, we
have had to go through two years of prevarications of him,
and and Hawin is the best way to say it,
you know, stuttering, a stammering in terms of our support
for Ukraine, that is a direct product of all of

(44:58):
the propaganda that was seedd here in this nation. And
it's a direct product of the many people, the many
voices who in the United States of America are ready
to do away with democracy themselves. They look at Vladimir
Putin as a model of what they could have. They
could have complete control over the American Empire without any

(45:19):
possibility of a transfer of power to an opposition party.
That's what Vladimir Putin has been for the last twenty
years in Russia. How many opposition leaders has he killed
in that time? He's I mean, he's so effective at
harming the opposition that he reached over into Ukraine and
poisoned Victor Yushenko, the opposition leader there in Ukraine, in

(45:46):
favor of Viktor Yanikovich, who's peacefully living in Russia while
his nation has been under siege for two years, under
attack for two years. And so here in the United
States of America we have people who look at him
Donald Trump, MAGA. They look at Vladimir Putin as a

(46:07):
model of what they could have. I never will forget.
And this was so long ago, it was like the
Internet was still relatively new. It was an NPR broadcast
where there was a businessman who had just gotten back
from China and he admitted on NPR that it was
it was such a great model to see a nation

(46:28):
that has capitalism without democracy. And I couldn't believe my ears.
And I went back years later to try to find it,
but it wasn't that. You know, they weren't putting every
single episode on the internet at that time, and I
don't believe that they will put that one on the
internet either, because you know, how do you have capitalists
here in the United States of America fawning over a

(46:50):
non democratic capitalist nation such as China, such as Russia.
The oligarchs here in the United States of America are
more than happy to do away with democracy because it
is an impediment to their profit margins. It's inconvenient, the
red tape, actually having to be concerned about labor, actually

(47:12):
having to be concerned about regulation. It's why you have
seven people dead because of what Listeria from Bor's head.
They lift at the regulations here, they want to lift
even more regulations because companies are not moral entities. They
will get away with anything they can get away with.
And it's something as simple as that that leads corporations

(47:35):
to wanting to have state controlled capitalism, non democratic, state
controlled capitalism. That's what Vladimir Putin is. And it's so
funny when I hear people who support Vladimir Putin who
think of themselves as communists, and I'm like, you clearly
do know that what Vladimir Putin is doing is not

(47:58):
resurrecting the uss AW. He's not a communist, he's not
an egalitarian fighting against capitalism. He's a capitalist trying to
expand his capitalistic empire. And yes, I know they do
know that. They just hate America so much that they're
willing to betray the very essence of their core being,

(48:19):
which is I oppose capitalism. You know you don't you
just oppose American capitalism because now you're in bed doing
the bidding of Vladimir Putin, who has his Russian capitalism,
his Russian empire. And so from day one, Ukraine has
been fighting against this aggression in a very justified war.

(48:43):
But we in the United States of America have you know, reluctantly,
against much opposition, supplied Ukraine with just enough ammunition to
hold the line. Well, Ukraine has knuckled up so hard
and so forerociously that they're no longer just holding the line.

(49:03):
They're ready to strike at the heart of Russia. And
Joe Biden is no, no, no, no, no, no, don't
go that far. Why why in what war have we
ever said that we cannot strike the homeland of the aggressor.
War does not work like that, never has, never will.

(49:26):
And it is appalling to me because we're coming up
on this election in just a few weeks, and if
Donald Trump happens to win, then we can rest assured
that Ukraine is going to lose. And so there's a
very small window of opportunity for Ukraine to hit Russia

(49:48):
so hard that Vladimir Putin has to come to the
negotiation table in authenticity, not in his imperialism. Everyone running
around saying peace piece piece, you know, Russia, Ukraine, he's
a surrender, so there can be peace, You disingenuous hacks. Huh.

(50:10):
And for them to wrap that propaganda in the name
of peace, in the name of anti war, when in
reality it is is truly just subjugation. It is truly
just bowing to the whims and the desires of a dictator. That,
to me, is this the insult to injury, because they

(50:33):
know full well that that is not the road to peace,
but the road to further subjugation. And what's even worse
is they know that it's not the road towards this
communistic future where everybody is equal and that there's no greed,
because Vladimir Putin himself is an oligarch, a billionaire oligarch,

(50:56):
lavishing in the riches that he's been able to plunder
off the Russian people since the fall of the USSR.
We have some, we have some, we have some serious
problems on the international stage. Those problems are now intricately
intertwined inside of the United States of America vis a

(51:17):
vi propaganda. We are not beyond being touched by this aggression.
In fact, we're living in a coup, a slow coup
that is the result of the same strategy that Vladimir
Putin deployed in Ukraine. Leading up into the invasion. There
were Russian propagandas being paid pretty pennies in Ukraine. All

(51:41):
of them escaped to Russia at the beginning of the war. Similarly,
we have hundreds of paid propagandas being paid by Vladimir
Putin here in the United States of America, who are
sowing the seeds of discord, the seeds of authoritarianism, calling
for the overthrow of the constitution, calling for the end

(52:05):
of democracy. And it just baffles the mind that we're
at this critical junction where Ukraine can now strike back.
Ukraine can put Russia on the defense and make them
not just pay the price for what they did, but
make them stop. See, you can only hold the line

(52:26):
for so long. Ukraine has held the line. And I'm
gonna close with this because I'm way over time. Thank you, Ukraine.
Thank you, because if it was not for Ukraine fighting
the war, that the West was to a sleep to
realize what's already happening. The West was too impressed by itself.

(52:53):
It was too it really thought like Francis Fukuyama thought,
wrote about that it was the end of history, that
liberal democracy was the apex of human society, and that
there would be nothing else that would come after it.
Little did they know or perhaps little did they care.
They were so impressed naval gazing, looking at their successes,
looking at their riches, looking at their empires, and saying,

(53:16):
we've done it. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin was planning all along,
and if it had not been for Ukraine holding the line,
being willing to fight the war, that we were not
prepared to fight, being willing to I mean just the
psychological shift alone from being a world with first World peace.

(53:45):
I'm gonna parse that very specifically, because the developing nations
have never had peace ever. But in the first World Europe,
the United States of America, there was a consistent peace
since nineteen the end of the World War II, since
nineteen forty five, And to shift from having a society

(54:10):
that is that was grown I mean generation at the
generation with the taste of peace as their milk as
their substance, and then to have to shift gears to
the horrific grit and horrors of entrenched warfare, where every

(54:36):
day hundreds of bodies are being shipped home, where there's
no one left in Ukraine who doesn't know someone or
have someone in their family that died from this war,
where thousands upon thousands of hundreds of thousands of soldiers

(54:58):
are coming back maimed, missing limbs, just completely that their
lives have This is a generation that will never be
forgotten because of the enormous sacrifice that they had to
make men, women, boys, girls, gender non conforming individuals, an

(55:23):
entire generation whose lives have been uppended from peace to war.
The West is not ready for that. We don't want
to have to bear the burden that Ukraine has had

(55:45):
to bear, and so we owe Ukraine a debt, not
just a debt of gratitude, but a debt of commitment
to let them finish this thing, to be victorious, not
just for them, but for us, because if we don't,

(56:05):
we will find that the seeds that are already planted
here in the United States of America will turn themselves
into war. And it may not be. It may not be,
and I'm using this word. I'm using this word. I'm
gonna use it. It may not be a glorious war
like Ukraine is fighting. It could just be an ethnic
cleansing where we don't even have the power to fight back.

(56:30):
They just come door to door and if you look
like an immigrant, they either deport you or kill you.
They go door to door. They've already said what they
wanted to do to black people in this country. There
was a police officers own record, multiple police officers, multiple
Nazi groups organizing saying very clearly that they want a

(56:50):
civil war, they would massacre us black folks. And all
of those seeds have been planted by the same exact
machine that Vladimir Putin used to plant in Ukraine. So
we may not even be afforded with the opportunity to
actually pick up our arms and go and fight. We

(57:11):
might just be lambs to the slaughter here in the
United States of America, because there's so many white nationalist
groups and militias that are eager for the opportunity to
massacre US, to massacre minorities, immigrants, migrants, asylum seekers, the
LGBTQIA community, women. We owe Ukraine a debt, but it's

(57:36):
not just a debt of gratitude. It is a debt
of armament as well as taking off the chains so
that Ukraine is free to strike Russia in the same
way Russia has struck Ukraine. I would that we all
would live peacefully together. I would that there would be

(57:59):
no war. Oh my good, I do dream of a
time where these are not even the conversations that have
to be had because we have fundamentally shifted as a society.
But we're not going to get there through surrender. We

(58:20):
do not get peace by surrendering to a murderous dictator
like Vladimir Putin. And if the United States of America
can't get us act together Joe Biden and release Ukraine
to do what they have to do, then I feared
we're going to find ourselves here in the United States
of America not even able to fight in a quote
unquote glorious war, but running for our lives in an

(58:43):
ethnic cleansing, because that's exactly what members of MAGA have
made clear that they want to do. And they are
perfectly in line and in sync with Vladimir Putin because
so long as the oligarchs in this nation can get
their quarterly profit margins and they don't have to worry
about the masses, they've already made it clear they prefer

(59:04):
that over democracy. I'll see you next time. Benjamin Dixon
